Answer:

B. local water contamination

D. destruction of ecosystems

Explanation:

The mining, be it a surface one or underground one, has several negative impacts on the surrounding area. Two common negative impacts of both types of mining are contamination of the local waters, as well as the destruction of ecosystems.

The waters get heavily polluted with toxic chemicals pretty much always ad everywhere where there is mining. The main reason for this is that the nus-products from the mining are released into the waters. This causes high level pollution of the waters, thus making it not good for anything, and the aquatic life in the waters dies out rapidly.

The fact that the waters are heavily polluted means that everything that comes in touch with them becomes heavily polluted as well. Also, apart from releasing chemicals in the waters, the mining requires space, so the area is cleared out, and after that lot of toxic material is disposed on it. The majority of the plants can sustain that, so they die out, and since they are the basis of the ecosystems, the animals die out as well.

What types of issues do government officials face when recovering after such a major disaster like the tsunami in japan? How can
dexar [7]

Answer:

In the aftermath of the nuclear crisis in Japan, the country engaged in a massive cleanup. It cleared tons of debris, rebuilt roadways and bridges, and demolished and cleared out damaged buildings. In the future, plans should be in place for organizing citizens in cleanup efforts, making the streets safe during cleanup, and safely disposing of debris.

In addition, public transportation and airports need to function as soon as possible after such an event. Therefore, government staff should develop disaster-recovery plans for the most vital transportation systems. Local governments also need to provide short-term and longer-term housing for those who lose their homes. Designated shelters, such as schools or other community buildings, should be made ready for this purpose. Governments also need to help people get insurance payments, loans for rebuilding, and sound advice for where to locate new homes and how to strengthen them.

What are the 2 subcategories of Igneous Rocks, and how do they look different from each other?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The two subcategories of igneous rocks are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks.

Explanation:

The igneous rocks are the rocks that form from cooling magma and lava. They are the base for the formation of the two other types of rocks. The igneous rocks are divided into two subcategories, intrusive and extrusive.

The intrusive igneous rocks are the ones that form from magma that didn't manage to come out on the surface but gradually cooled off into the crust. The extrusive igneous rocks are the ones that have formed from lava that cooled off and that has come out on the surface or very close to the surface.

Because the extrusive and intrusive rocks take different times to form because of the difference in temperature and pressure on the surface and deep into the crust, they have differences in their appearance. The most noticeable difference is that the intrusive igneous rocks have coarse grains, thus large and well-defined ones, while the extrusive ones have fine grains, thus very small and almost unnoticeable.
